the old and infirm

The old and infirm

Most are left to stay alone

In the homes of welfare

Counting the days to go

Who is to blame?

When old age comes calling

When a major disease knocks the door

Who will be listening?

The children will ignore

The relatives will hide

They all pretend

Nothing is wrong

Now it is left to good outsiders

They have the belief to lend a hand

Providing a shelter and meal

Let the old know there is a place

There are many cases of abandoned parents

The children forget to take care of them

They will say of lack of time and money

They leave the parents to seek a home

Many die of broken heart

They can't believe the children do this way

How they have sacrifice for their children

And yet in the end they are abandoned

Who is to blame?

Maybe planning and discipline

Maybe it is God's way of punishment

The sins we carry in our lives
